I see many breeders selling puppies, champion sired or champion lined, but not their champions on their kennel name rather off the work of someone else that they got a hold of the lines indirectly because a reputable show breeder trusted someone they now regret trusting.
If this actually is a show breeder that has done this who shows the dogs themselves and the champions are their own kennel name, that is pretty disheartening and you can bet not many other show breeders are going to be willing to trust that breeder with their lines when they are looking for some new blood to bring into their lines.

Excellent point! I can't imagine reputable show breeders doing this. $5000.00 or not. Their reputation is shot! Anyone who wants a quality show dog from a good show breeder SHOULD be willing to jump thru those hoops and feel very fortunate and blessed to be getting a nice dog that has years of planning and strict breeding behind them. I don't consider the contracts strict, I just consider the contract covers doing things the right way, the ethical way, to protect the breeders reputation and bloodlines that they have worked so hard for.
